Indeed, like a blast from the past.
We do seem a little under prepared in this series.
It's like we took apart SL so easily albeit with the same top order problems, it is almost like they thought they could just rock up to the Caribbean against on paper, a poor WI test team and the top order would finally reveal themselves as world class batsmen. And that is before we even explore executive management decision to play two spinners on a classically hard, seaming pitch!We do seem a little under prepared in this series.
England's new look aggressive approach to batting worked well, not!
There's a time and place for things like that. Flat track and England use two spinners ffs and bat like a school team.
Mind you, after shed loads of oh my gods, Jennings comes out top scorer. Who would have thought it.

Well that was pretty abject
Chasing 300+ in the fourth is 1 -1000 territory.
Shambles from the middle order. But then when they have dug us out so many times before then something like this is always a possibility.
Yeah it is, although normally you'd be doing that in the last 4 sessions on a worn pitch against spinners.Chasing 300+ in the fourth is 1 -1000 territory.

If we can clear out the tail before lunch today and keep the required runs below 400 I reckon we have half a chance on a third/fourth day pitch.
Can we bat as poorly again? Can WI bowl as well again?
Unlikely but history is very much on the side of the WI.
